not rooting for it but this losing streak has put them far enough under 500 that its doubtful they sniff it again in 2018..hes not the biggest reason but hurdle sucks. he effectively cooled off the scorching meadows with non play. the love for serpico is strange cause he sucks. alot of his decisions seem grab bag bullshit..cant seem to motivate guys like polanco . nutting is worst owner in sports.

Well, it's only loosely Pirates related, but congratulations to Bobby Bonilla on his annual $1,193,248.20 check from the New York Mets. Make sure to save a little, my dude, you're only getting 17 more of em.

Apparently there’s a growing call to bring up the kids (whoever they are) from the minors since we have another lost season.

The tweeter’s response? “You should be publicly pressuring the owner to get better players. By calling for call-ups, all you’re doing is saying you’re willing to pay major league prices to watch minor leaguers play”.

Perfect!

Actually, that's what Pirates fans have been doing for a long time 2013-15 the exception.
